step 1
Heat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk to combine dry ingredients All-Purpose Flour (3 cups), Baking Powder (1 tsp), Baking Soda (1/2 tsp), and Salt (1/2 tsp). Set aside.
step 3
Using a hand or stand mixer, cream together Butter (1/2 cup), Granulated Sugar (1 1/2 cups), 1 Tbsp zest of the Lemons (2). When light and fluffy add the Vegetable Oil (1/2 cup) and keep mixing.
step 4
To the bowl add Eggs (4) one at a time. When all eggs are combined add Vanilla Extract (1 tsp).
step 5
Gradually add in the dry ingredients alternating with splashes of Whole Milk (3/4 cup) and 1/4 cup Lemon Juice.
step 6
Grease and flour a bundt pan. Spoon 1/2 of the batter into the prepared pan and use a spatula to smooth the top.
step 7
In a mixing bowl combine the Jam (1 cup) with 1 tsp Lemon Zest.
step 8
Spoon the jam mixture into a ring around the batter. Evenly distribute the remaining batter. Use a sharp knife or spreader to marble the jam throughout the cake.
step 9
Bake for 40-50 minutes or until golden brown and toothpick comes out clean. If the cake is getting too much color before it is done cover the top with aluminum foil.
step 10
Allow the cake to cool for at least 5 minutes, using a long knife to loosen the cake. Turn the cake onto a flat surface and allow it to cool completely. Trim the cake as needed for it to have an even bottom.
step 11
While the cake is cooling, make the glaze. Combine the Powdered Confectioners Sugar (1 3/4 cups), 1 Tbsp zest and 1/4 cup juice from the Lemons (2) in a bowl until smooth. Optional: Add Blue Food Coloring (to taste).
